“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!” is the familiar call for young Rapunzel to toss her exceptionally long locks of golden hair down the side of a massive tower to raise and lower her only link to the outside world – Mother Gothel. Mother Gothel keeps a tight grip on her daughter, warning her that things in the outside world are cruel and are only out to harm her. She warns Rapunzel never to do two things: 1 cut her hair, and 2 leave the tower. Rapunzel, resigned to her fate, agrees.
